A newly installed way-finding sign at the junction of Hoy Trail just north of the Guildford Way trail entrance.

Thanks to the City of Coquitlam, making your way around the Hoy Creek Linear Park just got a whole lot easier!

In October trailhead signs were put in place as well as interpretational signs along the trail providing information on the history of the hatchery, the work of our Society and what you can expect to find along the watershed from salmon species to slugs.

Last week, way-finding signs were put in place at trail crossing areas and key locations to help navigate the area.

“Having all the signage in place has been a real bonus, in particular, that we were unable to host our Salmon Come Home event this year,” said Society president, Robbin Whachell. “With such a great return of chum salmon, visitors to the Hoy Creek Linear Park had a lot to see! The signage is a huge asset to the public.”

To celebrate the return of the salmon, the City of Coquitlam has created a map of prime viewing areas around the city as well as a children’s nature scavenger hunt to enjoy in the great outdoors.
